Iron 2.51 mg per 100gm and Phosphorus 36.33 mg per 100gm in peach powder. From peach powder the development of
baked product (biscuits) was also carried out. Six trials were done to develop the standard recipe of biscuit. With regular
practice on biscuits preparation the dimensions (width, diameter and weight) were found to be constant. In the
preparation of biscuits 15 per cent peach powder was incorporated which contained 4.99 mg Ca, 0.3765 mg Fe and 5.44
mg P. Sensory evaluation of control and Peach biscuits was done by using paired comparison test. Out of 30 panelists

pomace powder. The estimation of minerals was also carried out. Calcium was calculated to be 33.33 mg per 100 gm,
value was estimated to betcal =2.405. So, we can say that the null hypothesis that is acceptability of the two sample were
equal was rejected because the value was not in a range of -1.83 to +1.83 and the alternate hypothesis was accepted that
is acceptability of peach pomace biscuits was more than control one.

INTRODUCTION
Peach fruit has been demonstrated to contain vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and niacin. Peaches also
contain the minerals calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium. It contains higher quantity of ascorbic acid
(vitamin C). In recent years, as increased public concern about health, the fruit nutritional value is an important
parameter which ascribes fruit quality precisely. Peaches are well known for higher content of carotenoids
(pro-vitamin
A),
and
phenolic
compounds
which
are
sources

in
antioxidants
(Tomas et al., 2001; Byrne, 2002). It is believed that antioxidants are important health considerations in
maintaining healthy bodies. Increased contents of antioxidants in nutrition have also been reported to be assistive
in scaling down cardiac risks (Verlangierietal., 1985), humans body blood pressure (Ascherioetal., 1992) and
lethal occurrence of cancer (Willet, 1994).

At the same time fruits having increased levels of antioxidants resultantly show increased storability with
decreased concentration of phenols (browning). Peach fruit kernel is used to regulate blood circulation and beneficial use
during chronic constipation (Hou and Jin, 2005).
Peaches become available in early summer to the market and fill market with its fresh and pleasing arrival and
that is why it becomes profitably (commercial) a significant stone fruit crop. But less attention has been paid to the
production of peach fruit crop, chiefly because of its perishability and short postharvest life during storage. It has been
estimated that there are about 17-40% losses in horticultural crops (Rind, 2003).
These losses start right from the harvest and result in great losses in terms of not only quantity but quality as well. Main
reasons in post-harvest deterioration of fruits quality and vegetables are preharvest cultural measurements like improper selection of
rootstocks and scions, un improved production practices, injudicious use of fertilizer, pests and diseases management, lack of skill for
harvesting of crop at proper stage, and postharvest storage problems suchlike non removal of field heat, negligence regarding
management of hygienic problems, improper promotional materials (packaging) and grading of fruits, poor transport conditions,
storage and marketing approaches (Kader, 2002).
The present study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional value of Peach Juice and Peach pomace powder
(Prunuspersica) and utilization of peach pomace in biscuits as nutritional supplements.

Vanilla
0.2 ml
Method
Sugar and fat were creamed in a mixer. To this, a well-mixed blend of white flour, common salt and baking
powder were added along with milk containing vanilla essence and the contents were mixed further for 2 minutes to make
dough using a wooden rolling pin, the dough was sheeted on a specially fabricated aluminium platform to a uniform
thickness. Circular biscuits were cut and baked for 10 minutes at 150 C in a baking oven.
Optimization of the Basic Recipe
Optimization of the basic recipe was done for control as well as for 15% incorporation with respect to peach
powder used in the preparation of dough. Biscuits were evaluated for sensory characteristics using paired comparison test.
Sensory evaluation was done by a panel consisting of 30 members from the Department of Foods and Nutrition. We used
the Paired comparison test and Paired t- test as given by E. Larmond (1985),
RESULTS
Outcome of the various experiments conducted during the course of study is presented below
Nutritional Composition
This includes analysis of the samples for moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, total ash and total
soluble solids. The results have been presented in Table 1 and 2.
Moisture and T.S.S
The average moisture content was 82.33% and 17.066% recorded in the Peach juice and Peach pomace powder
respectively and average Total soluble solids in Peach juice was recorded to be 23.33 0Brix. Almost similar observations
had been recorded by several workers like (Parmar and Kaushal, 1982) reported slightly less moisture content of 79-81% in
Peach juice and 10-15% moisture in Peach powder, (Campbell et al, 2010) reported slightly more moisture content of
87.9% in Peach juice,(Paganet al,2001) recorded less moisture content of 7% in Peach pomace powder and
(Bhakshi and Masoodi,2009) has recorded 11.6 0Brix T.S.S which was quite low in Peach juice.

Total Ash
The total ash which consists of inorganic constituent is the residue that remains after the organic matter has been
burnt away. The data presented in Table 1 and 2 shows that the total ash content was 1.65% in Peach juice and 2.07% in
Peach powder. (Parmar and Kaushal, 1982) found ash content of 1.63% in Peach juice that was slightly less and
(Paganet al, 2001) recorded slightly high ash content of 3% in Peach pomace powder.
Crude Protein
The crude protein was found to be 1.87 % in Peach juice and 1.184% in Peach powder
(Parmar and Kaushal, 1982) found 2% protein in Peach juice that was slightly more.
Crude Fat
The average crude fat content was found 0.183% in Peach pomace powder. Almost similar observation has been
recorded by (Ashraf, et al 2011) reported slightly more crude fat content of 0.232%.
Crude Fiber
The average crude fiber content was found to be 2.27% in Peach pomace powder. Almost similar observation has
been recorded by (Ashraf, et al 2011) reported slightly less crude fiber content of 1.994%.

Vitamins
Vitamins are organic substances present in small amount in many foods. They are required for carrying out many
vital functions of the body and many of them are involved in the utilization of the major nutrients like proteins, fat and
carbohydrates. Although they are needed in small amounts, they are essential for health and wellbeing of the body.
Ascorbic Acid
It is clear from the data presented in Table 3 that the ascorbic acid content of Peach juice was found to be 10.55 mg/100 gm
and later on decreased by 12-13% in first three months to 9.62 mg/100gm and again it was decreased by 13% in next three months to
8.356 mg/100g. There was a total loss of around 20% within six month.

Peach Juice and Pomace Powder; Nutritive Value and Use of Pomace Powder in Biscuits
The ascorbic acid content of Peach pomace powder was found to be 15.44 mg/100 gm and later on decreased by 12-13%
in first three months to 14.02 mg/100gm and again it was decrease by 11% in next three months to 12.366 mg/100g. There was a
total loss of around 19% within six month.
Almost similar observations have been recorded by (Sharma et al, 1994) recorded 13.54 mg/100gm in Peach juice
which was slightly more.

(DPPH) free radical is that, the antioxidant reacts with stable free radical, DPPH and converts it to 1, 1-diphenyl2-picryl
hydrazine.
The data on DPPH activity of Peach juice and Peach pomace powder has presented in Table 6.
The data clearly shows that the DPPH activity of Peach juice was 82.03% in first month then it increased to 86.11% and
89.99% in 3rd and 6th month, overall 9.7% increase in DPPH activity had been recorded. The DPPH of Peach pomace powder was
recorded to be 81.05% in first month and it also increased to 85.09% and 89.01% in 3rd and 6th month, overall 7.9% increase in
DPPH activity had been recorded wit in six month in Peach pomace powder.
Almost similar observation had been recorded by Ashraf, et al 2011who reported 86.05% DPPH activity in Peach juice
and (Tsantili et al., 2010) had also recorded the nearly same DPPH activity 86.01% in Peach pomace powder.

Development of Standard Recipe
The regular practice of biscuit preparation was carried out many times and from the measurement of its physical
dimensions it is very clear that with regular practice and experience the dimensions (width, diameter $ weight) of biscuits were
coming uniform after practicing. Initially the deviations observed in dimension were very wide for example diameter varied from 4.2
cm to 4.5 cm while with regular practice the diameter was constant that was 4.7 cm. So, these trials were done to develop standard
recipe of biscuits. As it can be seen in table no. 4.7 the number of different trials has been done to develop a standard recipe for
Biscuits.

Paired t- Test
A paired t-test measures whether means from a within-subjects test group vary over 2 test conditions. The paired
t-test is commonly used to compare a sample groups scores before and after an intervention (Altman DG, 1991).
From the table no 4.8, we calculated tcal = 2.405 so, it is clear that first assumption is rejected (HO) and second is
accepted (H1). So, Peach Biscuits are more acceptable than control one.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutrient content of juice and powder and it was found to be
82.23% and 17.066% moisture in juice and powder, the ash content was found 1.65% and 2.07% respectively, crude
protein was 1.87% and 1.184% respectively, % ether extract was found to be 0.183% and crude fiber is 2.27 % of
peach powder. The vitamin C content was initially estimated to be 10.55 mg /100gm in peach juice, - Carotene content
was found to be 445 and 450 g/100gm in Juice and Powder. The DPPH activity was initially found to be 82.03% Juice. as
initially estimated to be 15.44 mg/100 gm in peach pomace powder The DPPH activity was initially found to be 81.05%
Peach pomace. The estimation of minerals was also carried out. Calcium was calculated to be 33.33 mg/100 gm, Iron 2.51
mg/100gm and Phosphorus 36.33 mg/100gm in peach powder. In the preparation of biscuits 15% peach powder was
incorporated so it was found 4.99 mg Ca, 0.3765 mg Fe and 5.44 mg P was present in 15 gm peach powder. The total
10.806 mg/15 gm was present in peach powder.
CONCLUSIONS
From peach powder the development of baked product (biscuits) was also carried out. Six trials were done to
develop the standard recipe of biscuit. With regular practice on biscuits preparation the dimensions (width, diameter $
weight) were found to be constant. Sensory evaluation showed peach pomace biscuits were more acceptable than control
one.
